Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photovoltaic modules, and in particular to a wire box for a lightweight photovoltaic module. Background Art
[0002] Junction boxes are directly exposed to the elements, subject to long-term exposure to wind, rain, and sunlight. Furthermore, their small size and numerous internal components place significant demands on their weather resistance, sealing, and safety. Junction box problems are common during PV system operation. According to incomplete statistics, junction box failures account for the highest proportion of PV power plant failures. Therefore, the structure of the junction box is a key consideration when designing and selecting it.
[0003] Conventional lightweight photovoltaic modules require a junction box to be connected via a splice. This connection requires two welds to complete the connection. Any weld failure at either end can cause failure of the junction box and the entire lightweight photovoltaic module. Therefore, a junction box with a simple structure and low failure rate is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
